Qin Yuâs eyes widened as he stared at the crazy bull pill furnace hurtling towards him. At this point, his mood was already past the point of no return, and whatever cursing he could say had already been tossed into the highest heavens. His divine sense wasnât weak; otherwise he wouldnât have been able to enter the Pill Furnace Pagodaâs ninth level. But, if he were really struck by that wild bull pill furnace, even if he didnât die he would be severely wounded.
If he couldnât fight he could at least hide. After Qin Yuâs divine sense form dodged, he chose a direction and ran away. But after several breaths of time, there was a loud rumbling roar behind him and his complexion changed. He turned to see the pill furnace stubbornly chasing after him, as if it would never give up.
Iâm going to mess with you until this is over!
Qin Yu clenched his teeth and dodged once more.
The wild bull pill furnace didnât even attempt to pretend this time. It directly changed direction and raced towards Qin Yu, clearly recognizing him as its target.
There werenât many divine senses on the Pill Furnace Pagodaâs ninth level. Even in the Land of Divinity and Demons, there werenât many young cultivators that could accomplish this. Originally their divine senses were scattered about, seeking their own pill furnaces. But at this time, they were all drawn over by the explosive sounds.
These divine senses all wandered over, curiosity in their hearts. They stopped in the distance and watched on, and then they all sucked in a collective breath of cold air.
The personâs form was blurry so they couldnât see who was being chased. As for that crazy demon-like pill furnace that was terrifying to the extreme, they had heard of it before.
In the legends, it was said that on the Pill Furnace Pagodaâs ninth level, there existed an incredibly dreadful pill furnace. It mysteriously disappeared and appeared like a ghost, as if it were a wild bull rampaging across the great grasslands, never stopping, always displaying its strength recklessly. As for those young cultivators who had the qualifications to learn about this, they were always harshly warned by their elders to never approach this pill furnace if they saw it.
But, they had never heard that this pill furnace would chase others. This fellow, did he run over to provoke it? Hehe, this fellow, he must be tired of living. Their eyesight wasnât poor. They could see that his divine sense was fast and his aura wasnât weak, but compared to that pill furnace he was a bit worse. Once he was overtakenâ¦
Pa â
The image that popped into everyoneâs minds was of a ripe watermelon being ruthlessly tossed to the ground; something no one wanted. All of the divine sense forms suddenly revealed sympathetic expressions. This fellow that didnât know how immense the heavens and earth were was bound to suffer a great loss. Of course, no one would go and help him, after all, everyone here was ultimately competitors, and no one that managed to make their way to the ninth level was a weakling. If they could eliminate a powerful competitor ahead of time, that would be the best outcome for them.
Qin Yuâs face was pale white. He discovered that he was now in a perilous situation. He glanced back at the âwild bullâ. It was unexpectedly fast and its endurance was good too, showing no signs of stopping. But if he maintained his current speed, the loss to his divine sense would be enormous and eventually he would be run over.
He clenched his teeth and cursed in his heart. If I canât provoke you, I can still run away! If I donât stay on this ninth letâs see just what you can do about it! Qin Yu stopped and wickedly glared at the galloping pill furnace. A sneer lifted up the corner of his lips. When a cultivatorâs divine sense entered the Pill Furnace Pagoda, they could withdraw with a single thought. This was the reason why Qin Yu was able to maintain his cool all this time, even when he was being chased. But at this moment, his smile stiffened and his face paled further.
He actually couldnâtâ¦withdraw.
And by this time, the âwild bullâ was already extremely close to him.
The surrounding divine senses all saw Qin Yu come to a sudden stop and they were left stunned. Just as the pill furnace was about to crash into him, they finally realized the reason why.
âThis fellow, does he not know that within the space of the ninth level, you canât leave before choosing your pill furnace?â
In truth, the inn had gathered an extremely comprehensive amount of information concerning the competition and had handed it over to Qin Yu ahead of time. Unfortunately, after he entered the Dao Arena he had received a great psychological hit concerning his talent, and so he had invested all of his attention into cultivation. As for this information, he had forgotten about itâ¦
If he could rewind time, Qin Yu swore that he would study well. But it was already too late and now he had no choice but to eat this bitter fruit.
Of course, everything above was just a random guess. Because after Qin Yu was dazed for a moment, he immediately recovered his composure. His powerful will had been tempered and honed over the years, and in moments of great peril, it gave him a powerful ability to control himself. He judged that it was no longer possible to avoid. Then, with a deep shout, his divine sense erupted with all its strength.
Closerâ¦closerâ¦
The massive pill furnace rumbled into his line of sight. Finally, it occupied his entire field of vision.
Qin Yu roared out loud and his palm came into contact with the pill furnace. His face was firm and decisive; he was already prepared to receive and withstand any pain, no matter how agonizing it was.
But in the next moment, he froze in place.
The pill furnace stopped.
Thatâs right, from a high-speed sprinting condition, it instantly came to a complete standstill. It was quiet and serene, as if all of this was as it should be.
Then, its massive 10 foot tall body started to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it eventually contracted into a pill furnace the size of a palm.
Qin Yu blinked his eyes.
At this moment, the surrounding divine senses all felt as if they were struck by thunder. It took them a long moment before they regained their senses. Their lips began to twitch. They had seen things with a strong beginning and a weak end, but this was their first time seeing something with such a strong beginning and such a weak end!
What the hell was going on here? Hadnât they come to an agreement that it would be the scene of a large ripe watermelon being smashed apart? How could that ruthless wild bull suddenly turn into a docile little cat!? Hey, wasnât this the pill furnace that the elders repeatedly warned us to not approach? As elders, how could you fool us like this!
Even the blind could see that this pill furnace was out of the ordinary. In terms of power, it might be at the top of the entire Pill Furnace Pagoda. They could only watch helplessly as it was taken by someone else in an unimaginably relaxed way. They just found this too difficult to accept.
There were some people that were unwilling, and cursed in their hearts. And there were some people that were unwilling and directly moved forwards to take action.
Qin Yu suddenly felt a powerful force rushing towards him from the side. He immediately woke up and resisted it, but his divine sense was still shaken away.
Although he hadnât been wounded, the pill furnace that just entered his hand was sent tumbling away. The divine sense that sneak attacked him laughed out loud and soared towards the pill furnace, grabbing it and saying, âLittle darling, youâre mine now!â
Within the Pill Furnace Pagoda, pill furnaces could be wrested away. Many nearby divine senses scolded themselves for being slow idiots. They could only cry tears of regret.
Shit, how come I didnât respond and just watched as the treasure was taken away by someone else?
Now that someone took action, it was already too late, because after obtaining a pill furnace oneâs divine sense could simply withdraw. Of course, though they felt regret, they felt even more pity towards the fellow who first obtained the recognition of the pill furnace.
What an idiot. After obtaining the recognition of the pill furnace he still didnât leave? He stayed behind to put on an act for them but then the act backfired on him; what an idiot!
âHaha, have fun searching everyone, Iâll be leaving first.â That divine sense clung onto the pill furnace and vanished from sight.
It really happenedâ¦the divine senses glanced at Qin Yu, mocking laughter in their eyes.
But what surprised them was that this divine sense seemed to be very calm and didnât fly into a rage at all. Could they be mentally damaged because of that attack? Tsk tsk, it was too pitiful!
In fact, they could see beneath the blurry form of Qin Yuâs divine sense, and right now his complexion was strange. Qin Yu had a feeling in his heart that the pill furnace couldnât be taken away by anyone. Moreover, the fellow who tried to seize it from him was likely to suffer a great loss.
As if to confirm Qin Yuâs thoughts, there was a cry of alarm and the divine sense that vanished with the pill furnace suddenly reappeared where they were in the beginning. Then, that exquisite pill furnace which was as docile as a little kitten suddenly emitted a thundering roar as if it were angered. Next, its body began to grow at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye it was restored to its original size, but it didnât stop here. It grew and grew to a hundred feet tall and maliciously smashed down.
This was like a big aunty that weighed over 300 pounds catching a little child on the side of the road that weighed less than 90 pounds and then pulling down their pants and giving them a mighty slapâ¦the taste of that consequence left oneâs scalp tingling with fear.
Of course, this was only their scalps tingling; they absolutely wouldnât do anything else. As for that fellow who seized the pill furnace, he was so unimaginably happy one second and in the next he emitted a shrill scream. His divine sense popped apart like a balloon, breaking into countless pieces.
The scene fell deathly silent.
It was only once that ruthless pill furnace blew apart the divine sense that it shrank back down to the size of a palm. Then, it obediently fell into Qin Yuâs hand. At this time, everyone sucked in a cold breath together. When the sounds combined as one, it was a spectacular sound.
All of the disdain and ridicule had long since disappeared. All that was left over was shock. So, this fellow wasnât putting on an act, but was dragging things out for an even greater performance! And that performance was so great that it was explosive.
This was why people said life was filled with ups and downs. Just beforehand they were all regretting their slow actions, but now their buttholes were puckered tight as they all rejoiced in their decisions!
If it had been themâ¦
As they thought of that ferocious pill furnace and that ruthless smash, numerous divine senses shook so much they nearly blurred.
Suddenly, a divine sense shot away. The remaining divine senses were stunned for a moment. It was unknown what they were thinking, but they quickly followed behind. In the blink of an eye, they had all vanished from sight. Then they each swiped off a cold sweat that shouldnât have existed and let out long sighs of relief.
Luckily, this person wasnât the cruel and merciless type. Otherwise as long as he decided to use the pill furnace as a weapon, he could maliciously toss it at them and their outcomes wouldnât be any better than that of the smiling friend just now. Terrifying, this was too terrifying!
This distance doesnât feel safe at all, I should run further away!
Qin Yu smiled. He wondered why those divine senses had fled. They ran so fast, they couldnât beâ¦cough cough, he didnât want to admit it because his mind was too shocked right now, but why didnât he think of such an ingenious plan?
Hey, could you all come back so we can compare whose reactions are faster?
All sorts of random thoughts flew through Qin Yuâs mind. As if sensing that he didnât intend to leave yet, the pill furnace seemed unhappy. It thought, âI already ruined your reputation, how come you arenât leaving now?â
Weng â
A faint shaking spread from the pill furnace, causing the entire ninth level to surge with it. Qin Yuâs divine sense was instantly shaken and forced out from the ninth level.
